The hands on learning was great as well. Each module transitioned smoothly into the next. I don't think I could have had a better learning experience anywhere else.

I would want people to know and understand that it takes a lot of hard work and dedication to succeed at the goal. Once you set your mind to something you have to be ready to do the work to achieve it.

Favien M.

I am happy I made the decision to go back to school; I feel great about my personal achievement and that I am on my way to a better career.

Tina W.

The reason why I chose HVAC was because it was 4 trades in one. I learned plumbing, I learned electricity, I learned construction on top of learning HVAC. What I do now is I’m an installer for one of the top companies in the region and what I find most satisfying about my job is being able to provide other people with comfort.
